Spray foam is applied as liquid and expands to fill nooks and crannies and conform to any unique home design. It is a great option for hard to reach places and for fitting complicated structures such as domed ceilings. It also helps with air sealing which can save energy costs.

The insulating performance of any insulation material is measured using its R-value. The higher the R-value, the more effective it is at resisting heat flow. Spray foam insulation can have an R-value of up to 7.1 per inch.

Spray Foam Insulation for Homes: Georgia Insulation’s Trusted Solutions

Crawl space encapsulation is important to help keep your home warm during the winter and cool in the summer. The best type of insulation will resist conduction and convection, which are the major causes of your high energy bills. Spray foam insulation is one of the most effective types available and can reduce your utility and repair bills significantly.

Other insulation options, such as fiberglass and cellulose, may not have the same effect on your home’s energy efficiency because they can leak air. These gaps can lead to drafts and cold floors. Spray foam insulation prevents these air leaks by forming an air seal.

When choosing a contractor to install spray foam, be sure they are certified by the manufacturer and use a reputable brand of insulation. Some spray foam insulations emit a gas while curing called isocyanates, which can cause irritation to the eyes, lungs, and gastrointestinal tracts. Long-term exposure can trigger asthma attacks and may lead to chemical bronchitis. The best way to avoid this is to make sure your contractor uses a newer generation foam that contains no CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs and uses a low VOC (volatile organic compound) blowing agent such as Ecomate®.
